I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

Lucius looked at her hesitant look and guessed something in his mind.

He knew that Nora was a sensitive girl who was easily worried about gains and losses.

After learning that Plotina moved into his house, he must have had some thoughts in his mind.

As a qualified harem king, Lucius would of course come to appease her first.

Don’t underestimate Lu Ge’s ability to control the situation, you bastard!

"Nora."

Lucius gently put his arm around the girl's shoulders, his voice becoming gentle:

"Is it because of Plotina?"

He smiled, his eyes seeming to see through everything.

Nora's body trembled violently, and she looked up at Lucius in surprise.

As expected, I still can’t hide it from Brother Lucius?

"me......"

She opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"Silly girl, how can I not know what you are thinking?"

He gently lifted Nora into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, holding her like a pet, and wrapping his arms around her tightly.

Nora felt the warmth and strength coming from his chest, and her body relaxed involuntarily, leaning against him obediently.

Lucius placed his chin on Nora's small shoulder and whispered in her ear:

"Plotina moved into my house for her own special reasons."

"This arrangement is only temporary. Once she recovers, she will naturally return to the palace."

Of course, what Lucius didn't say is that Plotina herself might not be too eager to go back.

"and......"

Lucius paused and gently bit Nora's earlobe:

"You are mine, and she is mine too."

"You're all going to come to my house eventually anyway, so what does it matter if you come earlier or later?"

Feeling Lucius's warm breath brushing against her ears, and the embrace that seemed to melt her, Nora was in no position to think properly.

Her mind was in a mess, with only Lucius's handsome face and the intoxicating scent emanating from him.

"Uh-huh......"

Nora leaned obediently in Lucius' arms like a kitten. No matter what he said, she could only blush and nod softly with a dazed look in her eyes.

Nora didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Lucius seemed to have become more handsome again.

Whenever I saw him before, my heart would just flutter.

but now......

It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but she was indeed a little wet.

.........................

After spending some time with Nora, Lucius was led by the butler of the Brunel family to the study deep in the mansion.

Chancellor Otto was sitting behind his desk, reading a document carefully.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up, and when he saw Lucius, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Have you finished comforting my precious granddaughter?"

Otto put down the documents in his hand and motioned for Lucius to sit in the chair opposite him:

"Judging from your expression, you must have something important to say?"

"Indeed."

Lucius sat down on the chair, his expression becoming serious:

"Grandpa Otto, I came here this time to discuss with you the matter concerning Tiberius."

"oh?"

A sharp light flashed in Chancellor Otto's eyes:

"It seems my sense of smell is still quite sharp even with my old bones."

"According to the intelligence I've received, Tiberius's recent behavior has become increasingly suspicious."

Lucius said straight to the point:

"He's secretly collecting something dangerous that could potentially threaten the Empire."

"I heard some rumors too."

Chancellor Otto nodded, picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip:

"Many officials in the court are already dissatisfied with him."

"I think it's time to take action against him."

There was a hint of coldness in Lucius' tone:

"If we continue to let him run wild, the consequences will be disastrous."

Otto frowned slightly and spoke slowly:

"Are you planning to impeach him at tomorrow's imperial meeting?"

"It's not impeachment, it's just a motion against him."

Lucius shook his head slightly:

"I contacted several parliamentary secretaries at the Ministry of Justice to spearhead the effort."

Hearing this, Chancellor Otto was silent for a moment.

Lucius is now at the peak of his power. Under such circumstances, there will inevitably be ambitious officials willing to take the initiative to act as his vanguard.

but......

Chancellor Otto raised the corner of his mouth subtly:

“Not enough.”

"If you want to overthrow a prince, the impeachment of a few vice ministers won't be enough to shake the situation."

A ruthless look flashed across the old man's eyes, and his demeanor suddenly changed:

"Since you are going to attack, you must be prepared to kill with one blow and make it impossible for the opponent to recover."

"I will contact the Minister of Justice, and he will fire the first shot at tomorrow's Royal Court meeting."

Lucius: I'm funny!

grandfather!

You really are my grandpa!

Lucius had never expected that just discussing tomorrow's plan with Chancellor Otto would lead to such an unexpected gain.

Is this what it feels like to have someone to back you up?

This doesn't happen in the simulation.

"Grandpa Otto, there's one more thing..."

Lucius changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat obscure:

"Under such heavy pressure, Tiberius might become desperate and do something extreme."

He looked into Chancellor Otto's eyes with a serious expression and hinted:

"Next, it's very likely that something...unusual will happen in Splenda."

"I hope Grandpa Otto can focus on safety issues, especially the safety of his family."

Although Lucius did not say it explicitly, this extremely solemn reminder was enough to make the shrewd Prime Minister Otto alert.

Upon hearing this, Chancellor Otto's deep eyes flickered slightly.

He looked at Lucius meaningfully, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

He knew that Lucius would never do something without a purpose.

"I understand."

He nodded calmly:

"I'll make the arrangements later, and there will definitely be no accidents."

The two of them understood each other tacitly, and everything was implied without words.

.........................

The next day, as the sun rose, all the ministers gathered in the throne room.

Lucius and Chancellor Otto stood side by side, both looking calm, as if everything was under control.

As expected, halfway through the Royal Court meeting, Justice Secretary Adrian Flint stood up.

He was an old man with gray hair, his face serious and his words righteous:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"speak."

Kokwus answered succinctly.

"Recently, there have been many rumors circulating among the people that the Second Prince, His Highness Tiberius, has some connection to the Chaos Cult."

The Minister of Justice's voice was clear and firm:

"To safeguard the reputation of the royal family and the security of the empire, I recommend that a formal investigation be conducted into His Highness Tiberius."

As soon as these words were spoken, whispers suddenly broke out in the hall.

Although everyone knew this was going to happen, it was still a surprise when it actually happened.

Investigate a prince!

Some things don't weigh more than four ounces if they're not on the scale, but if they are on the scale, they weigh a thousand pounds!

Kokuus's eyes instantly became sharp, like an enraged lion.

"Adrien, are you accusing a prince of treason?"

The emperor's voice was low and majestic, with obvious anger in it.

"Your Majesty, the prince has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"

Facing the emperor's pressure, Adrian was not afraid at all, and he was a man of steel:

"The evidence is conclusive, we have to investigate!"

Adrian glanced furtively in Lucius' direction and continued:

"Recently, the Chaos Cult has been rampant in the Imperial Capital. According to reliable sources, most of the Imperial officials replaced by the Changelings had close personal connections with the Second Prince!"

"This is a serious incident that concerns the safety of the empire. I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

After the Justice Minister finished speaking, officials' reactions varied.

Some ministers showed expressions of gloating, some looked worried, and some were observing the emperor's reaction, ready to adjust their positions at any time.

Lucius watched all this quietly from the side and nodded secretly in his heart.

The Justice Minister has done a good job.

But what was more important was the emperor's reaction.

Kokwus was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly solemn.

Everyone is waiting for the decision of the supreme ruler of the empire.

Finally, the emperor spoke:
